What does KOFTA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A dish of spiced, minced meat or vegetables formed into balls or ovals and cooked by grilling, frying or simmering in sauce.
The dish called kofta appears across South Asian, Middle Eastern and Balkan cooking, though the exact spicing, shape and cooking method change from one region to the next. A cook typically binds ground meat or mashed vegetables with onion, herbs and spice before shaping the kofta mixture into balls or short cylinders. Some versions are skewered and grilled over charcoal, while others simmer gently in a spiced tomato or yoghurt sauce until tender. The word kofta travelled into English through Persian and Urdu, following the spread of the dish itself into British and international restaurant menus.
